WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.760 --> 00:00:03.839 I'm going to tell you here on the Minnesota goodbye my stupid foot in the 2 00:00:03.839 --> 00:00:06.280 mouth moment. I don't want to say it on the radio because I told 3 00:00:06.360 --> 00:00:11.400 Jenny already, but I think once in a while we embarrass ourselves or put 4 00:00:11.400 --> 00:00:14.240 our foot in our mouth and then you feel stupid. Now, if you 5 00:00:14.240 --> 00:00:20.760 haven't done it lately, good, but you're overdue. So if you ever 6 00:00:20.800 --> 00:00:25.519 put your foot in your mouth or you said something stupid, or you embarrassed 7 00:00:25.519 --> 00:00:29.640 yourself, we all do it. And I don't embarrass as easily as I 8 00:00:29.640 --> 00:00:32.159 did when I was younger, but this was stupid, and I embarrassed myself 9 00:00:32.240 --> 00:00:37.280 yesterday, so I'm down at I don't think I'm meaning to say I met 10 00:00:37.280 --> 00:00:40.799 somebody. I met a group of people. I met three people. One 11 00:00:40.799 --> 00:00:45.159 of them their name was Ryan Okay, is it guy at thirty years old? 12 00:00:45.200 --> 00:00:47.920 His name is Ryan Okay. Good to meet you, Ryan, Good 13 00:00:47.920 --> 00:00:50.039 to meet you, Good to meet you. Blah blah blah blah blah. 14 00:00:50.079 --> 00:00:52.560 And one of the person people there said, oh, I listen to your 15 00:00:52.560 --> 00:00:57.600 show all the time, Dave Flugelbinder, And we laughed because that's a fake 16 00:00:57.679 --> 00:00:59.719 name that I came up with, Like I say, my name's not Dave 17 00:00:59.759 --> 00:01:02.439 Ryan, and it's Dave Flugelbinder. Well, it's, of course it's not 18 00:01:02.840 --> 00:01:06.640 Dave Flugelbinder. It's Dave Kibler, I told them, and they said. 19 00:01:06.680 --> 00:01:07.519 One of them said, well, how'd you come up with a name Dave 20 00:01:07.599 --> 00:01:11.560 Ryan? And I said, you know, when you're seventeen years old and 21 00:01:11.560 --> 00:01:14.599 you're in radio and you get to change your name to whatever you want, 22 00:01:15.159 --> 00:01:18.239 you know, you can pick something really good, like I don't know Oprah 23 00:01:18.319 --> 00:01:23.079 Winfrey or Ryan Seacrest or Quentin Tarantino or Billie Eilish, and I chose the 24 00:01:23.079 --> 00:01:30.519 most boring name in the world. Ryan. Now remember forty five seconds earlier, 25 00:01:30.560 --> 00:01:34.920 I had just met a guy named Ryan. Yeah, And and Ryan 26 00:01:36.680 --> 00:01:38.079 was like, okay, well, I guess I'll just step out of this 27 00:01:38.120 --> 00:01:42.519 conversation. And I was like, no, I mean, I've mamed that. 28 00:01:42.680 --> 00:01:45.840 And so I felt so stupid because you know, of course, what 29 00:01:45.920 --> 00:01:49.040 I meant is as a show biz name, you know, you pick a 30 00:01:49.120 --> 00:01:53.519 name like I don't know Billie Eilish or you know, name another one. 31 00:01:53.519 --> 00:02:01.439 I can't think of anything right now, share is probably is so and and 32 00:02:01.599 --> 00:02:07.079 he got it, but I still felt stupid that I just insulted his name, 33 00:02:07.120 --> 00:02:08.439 and I'm like, no, that's my name too, I'm not insulting 34 00:02:08.479 --> 00:02:12.400 you. But I felt stupid, so I know, I mean, I 35 00:02:12.439 --> 00:02:15.000 totally get where you're coming from. I would probably feel a little sad myself 36 00:02:15.000 --> 00:02:19.639 that I said that, but I just don't think it's that bad because how 37 00:02:20.120 --> 00:02:23.840 like easily we forget names the moment we meet someone. It is just insane. 38 00:02:23.919 --> 00:02:28.520 It's a poor quality to have. But I also just forget someone's name 39 00:02:28.599 --> 00:02:30.680 immediately, so it wouldn't be like top of mine to me all of a 40 00:02:30.719 --> 00:02:35.039 sudden when I'm like, start talking smack about the name, and you thought 41 00:02:35.159 --> 00:02:38.039 and you obviously thought you were just talking smack about yourself, you know, 42 00:02:38.199 --> 00:02:39.759 yeah, right exactly. Yeah, it just, I don't know, just 43 00:02:39.800 --> 00:02:43.360 bugged me, and then I felt stupid. I felt because he was so 44 00:02:43.560 --> 00:02:46.479 nice and gracious, and then I was and you know, didn't mean to 45 00:02:46.479 --> 00:02:50.759 be an asshole, but you know, what about you if you ever stuck 46 00:02:50.759 --> 00:02:53.000 your foot in your mouth or done anything stupid, let us know. We 47 00:02:53.080 --> 00:02:58.800 did bring up on the show Bad Movie Theater Experiences yesterday here on the min 48 00:02:58.840 --> 00:03:02.039 Minnesota Good Bobe because somebody said I can't go to the movie anymore. Somebody 49 00:03:02.120 --> 00:03:05.759 had a ring light out. There were teens I love it when they call 50 00:03:05.800 --> 00:03:09.439 them teens that were making videos on TikTok and giggling and talking out loud. 51 00:03:09.520 --> 00:03:14.599 And there was a couple that had sex in the theater and blah blah blah. 52 00:03:14.680 --> 00:03:15.960 And so I said, I don't know where you're going to the movies, 53 00:03:16.000 --> 00:03:21.080 but wherever I go, either the parents have raised them right, or 54 00:03:21.120 --> 00:03:23.960 the kids are just too bored or whatever, they don't they come in and 55 00:03:23.000 --> 00:03:27.520 watch the movie. Yeah, is that your experience, that's my experience as 56 00:03:27.599 --> 00:03:34.680 well. So we have an email from Andrew in Ohio. Andrew writes every 57 00:03:34.759 --> 00:03:37.840 single day. And Andrew, sometimes I read your emails and sometimes I don't, 58 00:03:37.879 --> 00:03:39.800 But I'm glad you listened to the show. Want to share my experience 59 00:03:39.800 --> 00:03:43.000 with you from last year. I went to a theater with my wife to 60 00:03:43.000 --> 00:03:46.479 see Jurassic Park in theaters for some kind of special showing. And there were 61 00:03:46.479 --> 00:03:51.400 these two teenagers, maybe eleven, twelve, thirteen there next to us throughout 62 00:03:51.439 --> 00:03:54.080 the whole movie. Luckily we'd seen it before, otherwise I would have been 63 00:03:54.080 --> 00:03:58.800 more upset. But they were loud and on their phones, and every few 64 00:03:58.840 --> 00:04:02.080 minutes they'd leave the theater, come back before they left. Before they left, 65 00:04:02.120 --> 00:04:05.400 before the movie was even over, one of them opened Snapchat or something 66 00:04:05.400 --> 00:04:09.360 on his phone and turned up the volume all the way up. I looked 67 00:04:09.360 --> 00:04:13.080 over and said, really, you're kidding me, right, And the dumb 68 00:04:13.120 --> 00:04:15.560 ass says, oh, I'm trying to watch something. I looked at him, 69 00:04:15.600 --> 00:04:19.720 dumbfounded and said, yeah, me too. I honestly want to grab 70 00:04:19.759 --> 00:04:23.639 his phone and throw it across the room. It was rudeness for the entire 71 00:04:23.680 --> 00:04:27.920 movie until they left fifteen minutes before the end. Ridiculous. Parents need to 72 00:04:27.959 --> 00:04:32.800 teach their kids better or something, right, Andrew in Ohio, I think 73 00:04:32.839 --> 00:04:42.160 that there might be a gap of experience with politeness in a movie theater. 74 00:04:42.279 --> 00:04:45.800 In other words, you and I grew up knowing you go to the movie 75 00:04:45.879 --> 00:04:50.439 theater and you are quiet. But there might be a generation that doesn't understand 76 00:04:51.079 --> 00:04:55.279 that the movie is not a social event. I don't know that it would 77 00:04:55.319 --> 00:04:58.560 be a generation, though. I think it's all comes down to how they're 78 00:04:58.680 --> 00:05:01.920 raised. Yeah, yeah, I think that's a very like you know, 79 00:05:01.959 --> 00:05:06.279 you got your nature versus nurture. It's definitely a nurture environment. I think 80 00:05:08.279 --> 00:05:13.240 I was in Eden Prairie theaters long ago before they converted it. So we're 81 00:05:13.279 --> 00:05:15.839 talking back in about nineteen ninety eight or so, and we were watching a 82 00:05:15.879 --> 00:05:18.959 Tim Allen movie about him going to space, and it was a very forgettable 83 00:05:18.959 --> 00:05:24.040 movie. But there were about four or five teenage girls, probably fourteen to 84 00:05:24.079 --> 00:05:26.920 fifteen years old, sitting a few rows in front of us, and every 85 00:05:26.959 --> 00:05:32.000 time something moderately funny would happen, they would laugh really loud, like deliberately, 86 00:05:32.120 --> 00:05:39.519 like really loud. Yeah, And I knew they were doing it deliberately, 87 00:05:39.560 --> 00:05:43.040 and it was very annoying, very distracting. So I said something like 88 00:05:43.120 --> 00:05:48.199 okay, girls, that's enough, and they stopped because I think they were 89 00:05:48.240 --> 00:05:51.319 like, oh, now we're busted. But Alison was mortified. She was 90 00:05:51.360 --> 00:05:55.560 like, Dad, why'd you say that? And then of course I felt 91 00:05:55.600 --> 00:05:59.959 bad for saying something, but they put me in a position to like, 92 00:06:00.120 --> 00:06:03.639 don't ruin the movie for everybody else there. I just think kids are I 93 00:06:03.680 --> 00:06:06.120 mean, I was a young dumb kid at one point too. I'm sure 94 00:06:06.120 --> 00:06:09.720 I did annoying shit like that, probably not at the movie theater because I 95 00:06:09.759 --> 00:06:12.279 didn't really do that, but or go to the movies very often, but 96 00:06:12.399 --> 00:06:15.240 I'm sure I did, and it's just whatever. If someone yelled at me, 97 00:06:15.279 --> 00:06:17.839 and I know I got yelled at by adults sometimes for being annoying, 98 00:06:17.959 --> 00:06:21.240 I just brushed it off so like it might have been embarrassing for Allison, 99 00:06:21.279 --> 00:06:24.920 But I'm sure those girls are like, now, whatever. Yeah, I'm 100 00:06:24.920 --> 00:06:28.120 sure we didn't ruin their evening. I remember when I was a kid, 101 00:06:28.120 --> 00:06:30.879 probably eight or ten, with my friend Scott, his mom would drop us 102 00:06:30.879 --> 00:06:32.800 off at mattin a movies at the theater, and one time we took squirt 103 00:06:32.839 --> 00:06:36.560 guns because we thought it'd be really funny to shoot squirt guns up in the 104 00:06:36.560 --> 00:06:40.680 air at the people, like down in front of us, so the water 105 00:06:40.680 --> 00:06:45.319 would land on them. What we didn't realize was if you shoot a squirt 106 00:06:45.319 --> 00:06:47.839 gun up in the air at a movie theater, the light from the projector 107 00:06:48.160 --> 00:06:55.040 projector shines right on the water, okay, and it's like a laser beam 108 00:06:55.199 --> 00:06:59.399 showing people where you are. So we got in trouble, and I don't 109 00:06:59.399 --> 00:07:00.600 think we got out of trouble. We didn't get kicked out. I think 110 00:07:00.639 --> 00:07:03.959 we just had some eighteen year old girl tell us to stop it, and 111 00:07:04.040 --> 00:07:06.680 so we did because we didn't want to get in trouble, but we were 112 00:07:06.680 --> 00:07:11.639 little assholes too. Yeah, you go through your face, Dave and Jenny. 113 00:07:11.680 --> 00:07:15.639 Alamo Draft House in wood Hood, Woodbury is worth checking out if you 114 00:07:15.720 --> 00:07:19.199 can't stand poor movie theater etiquette. They have a no tolerance policy for talking 115 00:07:19.279 --> 00:07:24.199 during the movie and a no cell phone use policy and it's enforced. Good 116 00:07:24.199 --> 00:07:27.160 to know Alamo Draft House. I've been there once. It's a nice place. 117 00:07:27.240 --> 00:07:30.639 They've got like the whole like restaurant ahead of time. It's a pretty 118 00:07:30.639 --> 00:07:32.519 bougie movie theater, that's what they said. They also have a weight staff 119 00:07:32.519 --> 00:07:34.839 that'll bring you beer, mixed drink, snacks, and then they even have 120 00:07:34.879 --> 00:07:41.040 a full menu including chicken strips and burgers. It's awesome. Some feedback on 121 00:07:41.160 --> 00:07:44.600 ads, now, this is interesting. We haven't talked about this in a 122 00:07:44.639 --> 00:07:47.639 while, but ads on the podcast Okay, does Chump of Casino and Lucky 123 00:07:47.720 --> 00:07:53.079 Land Slots realize that I will never use them due to their ads being so 124 00:07:53.319 --> 00:07:57.240 overplayed and stupid. Also, there is an ad for LUNs and buyer Lees 125 00:07:57.279 --> 00:08:01.959 that fallon did that's about Valentine's Day and it's all almost April. I just 126 00:08:01.040 --> 00:08:05.360 forwarded that to the boss to see if they can take care of the fallon 127 00:08:05.399 --> 00:08:09.120 Ad. Again, somebody is not doing their job and it's frustrating, but 128 00:08:09.399 --> 00:08:13.199 what can we do? Love the show? If you guys, Ad, 129 00:08:13.199 --> 00:08:16.639 Bailey and vant I could not be more excited. That is from Isaac in 130 00:08:16.680 --> 00:08:20.920 beautiful downtown a Marie, Wisconsin. I got your address. I'll send a 131 00:08:20.120 --> 00:08:24.279 send you a sticker, Isaac. All right, now we're gonna scroll down 132 00:08:24.279 --> 00:08:28.360 to some emails that came in earlier and we did not get to them, 133 00:08:28.399 --> 00:08:33.080 So let's start with this one. Listening to Minnesota Goodbye as Usual and immediately 134 00:08:33.240 --> 00:08:37.519 thought of an irrational fear when it was brought up snakes because I talked about 135 00:08:37.639 --> 00:08:41.279 my irrational fear of a plane crashing into the house. Well, I don't 136 00:08:41.279 --> 00:08:45.240 think I was on that one, okay, but I do have one that's 137 00:08:45.320 --> 00:08:48.720 very strange. Just like an irrational fear, it's never going to happen. 138 00:08:48.240 --> 00:08:52.960 But you have this fear Mine is that when I flush a spider down the 139 00:08:52.000 --> 00:08:54.600 toilet, that it's gonna come up and like, while I'm going to the 140 00:08:54.600 --> 00:09:01.360 bathroom, you know enter a region, Yes exactly. You know that does 141 00:09:01.399 --> 00:09:03.320 happen all the time, Jenny, So next time, I know it does 142 00:09:03.399 --> 00:09:05.440 all the time. Yeah. It happened to a nephew of mine. Yeah, 143 00:09:05.440 --> 00:09:09.039 a nephew of mine. Yeah. And he's still he's got his ass 144 00:09:09.200 --> 00:09:13.360 hole, has never been the system. He's got a big red fing marks 145 00:09:13.360 --> 00:09:16.240 on his asshole because a spider climbed up his butt cheek and bit him in 146 00:09:16.279 --> 00:09:18.320 the asshole. So that does happen, Jenny, did he like it? 147 00:09:20.120 --> 00:09:24.159 I mean he probably did. Yeah, So anyway, they said mine is 148 00:09:24.240 --> 00:09:28.320 snake specifically either curled up under the toilet seat or coming up from the hole 149 00:09:28.320 --> 00:09:31.879 in the toilet and biting my bits. I saw an episode it Touched by 150 00:09:31.879 --> 00:09:35.120 an Angel. I was seven or eight with an elderly lady who kept calling 151 00:09:35.120 --> 00:09:39.679 her landlord about a snake in the toilet. They thought she was bananas until 152 00:09:39.720 --> 00:09:43.039 the end of the episode when Michael landon That's doorable saw the head of a 153 00:09:43.120 --> 00:09:48.360 rattlesnake peek up out of the bowl. Nope. It traumatized me at the 154 00:09:48.399 --> 00:09:50.960 time, but I got over it until ten years ago. I moved into 155 00:09:50.039 --> 00:09:56.600 my house with a very wooded backyard across the street from a pond. All 156 00:09:56.679 --> 00:10:00.639 kinds of craters everywhere. The worst is the gardener snakes and bowl snakes ick 157 00:10:00.679 --> 00:10:05.799 ach akeke ick. We even bought a teeny tiny baby snake or caught a 158 00:10:05.840 --> 00:10:09.200 teeny tiny baby snake in the basement of time or two always in the spring, 159 00:10:09.200 --> 00:10:11.440 which of course reignited my fear of snakes in the toilet. I am 160 00:10:11.480 --> 00:10:16.960 forty four, and I religiously checked first, especially before using the bathroom downstairs. 161 00:10:18.639 --> 00:10:20.759 Apologies for not being more formal with my email. I feel like I've 162 00:10:20.799 --> 00:10:24.440 written it enough that it'll start to get redundant and obnoxious to hear how great 163 00:10:24.440 --> 00:10:31.039 I think you are, But I do any who. I suppose this is 164 00:10:31.080 --> 00:10:35.679 how my family send signals the end of our Minnesota goodbye, so another day. 165 00:10:35.000 --> 00:10:41.120 So I get that when you're leaving you go anyway. I suppose I 166 00:10:41.240 --> 00:10:46.000 bet or get going. I do the well and like do a little knee 167 00:10:46.039 --> 00:10:48.200 slap to Andrew, like well, we gotta get going, yep. And 168 00:10:48.240 --> 00:10:52.519 sometimes you just like you're you're looking at your partner going can we leave yet? 169 00:10:52.559 --> 00:10:56.399 Can we leave yet? And I do the same thing. When you 170 00:10:56.519 --> 00:11:01.360 leave a party, do you do the Irish goodbye? Like we know you 171 00:11:01.360 --> 00:11:05.600 always say goodbye to the host always okay, yeah, we usually don't I 172 00:11:05.720 --> 00:11:11.159 like even this past weekend when we were out partying in Veil after our snowboard 173 00:11:11.799 --> 00:11:15.279 day, we tried to find everyone we had met that night of this group 174 00:11:15.320 --> 00:11:18.120 of random people to say goodbye to, and we weren't even good friends with 175 00:11:18.159 --> 00:11:20.360 them, like that's just Andrew and I really wow. And we was in 176 00:11:20.399 --> 00:11:22.919 like a busy club and we were like trying to find everyone, and finally 177 00:11:22.919 --> 00:11:26.879 we gave up because we're like whatever, we let's get going. We usually 178 00:11:26.960 --> 00:11:31.080 do the Minnesota goodbye or the Irish goodbye, like the neighbors usually have a 179 00:11:31.080 --> 00:11:35.000 great Christmas party every year, and if you say goodbye, then you always 180 00:11:35.039 --> 00:11:39.759 get the well you're leaving so soon, or oh thanks for coming, and 181 00:11:39.840 --> 00:11:43.919 hey, how's Carson doing, and it's like okay, So we usually just 182 00:11:43.960 --> 00:11:46.759 sneak out yeah, and you know it's fine. They don't miss us until 183 00:11:46.759 --> 00:11:52.080 the next morning they go, did Dave and Susan ever say goodbye? She 184 00:11:52.200 --> 00:11:58.279 goes, all right, enjoy the rest of your afternoon and thank you. 185 00:11:58.720 --> 00:12:01.360 Man. I'm gonna hit delete on that one. I'm gonna skip up to 186 00:12:01.360 --> 00:12:05.159 one that I missed earlier. It's eight pm on Thursday, and I just 187 00:12:05.360 --> 00:12:13.080 had a weird synchronistic movement just now, because somebody said a couple of weeks 188 00:12:13.120 --> 00:12:15.639 ago, they said, you know, you guys will be talking about like 189 00:12:15.720 --> 00:12:18.919 black pickup trucks with chrome exhaust, and I'll look out my driver's window and 190 00:12:18.960 --> 00:12:22.120 there's a black pickup truck with chrome exhaust. Yeah. Or you'll be talking 191 00:12:22.159 --> 00:12:26.320 about going the dentist while I'm in the dentist parking lot. And I thought 192 00:12:26.360 --> 00:12:31.360 that's interesting. She said, I'm listening to your Minnesota Goodbye podcast on an 193 00:12:31.360 --> 00:12:35.840 airplane and I was trying unsuccessfully to connect to the Wi Fi right when you 194 00:12:35.919 --> 00:12:39.840 started talking about that. I'll have to wait till I land until I can 195 00:12:39.879 --> 00:12:45.559 send this laugh emoji from Melissa. Yeah. We talked about how plane WiFi 196 00:12:45.679 --> 00:12:48.840 is either one of four things. It's either broken that day, it doesn't 197 00:12:48.840 --> 00:12:52.799 connect at all, it's a shitty connection, or once in a while it 198 00:12:52.879 --> 00:12:58.120 works just fine. Yeah. So so if you want to send anything about 199 00:12:58.120 --> 00:13:03.120 Wi Fi synchronicity or movie theater etiquette. I think that that was interesting. 200 00:13:03.840 --> 00:13:11.039 Let's find another one. Okay, this is a follow up to your recent 201 00:13:11.080 --> 00:13:13.799 podcast. Oh, because we talked about how a friend of mine says she 202 00:13:13.960 --> 00:13:16.960 didn't feel appreciated do you remember this one? You might have bet on vacation. 203 00:13:18.120 --> 00:13:20.320 No, I think this was before I went on vacation. Okay, 204 00:13:20.679 --> 00:13:24.080 friend of mine doesn't feel appreciated. She makes all the reservations for dinner, 205 00:13:24.200 --> 00:13:28.159 vacations, whatever. I saw a meme yesterday that there's one person in a 206 00:13:28.159 --> 00:13:31.600 couple that's like, Okay, we got the passports, the rental car is 207 00:13:31.639 --> 00:13:35.240 ready, and we're checking into the hotel at three pm, and the other 208 00:13:35.279 --> 00:13:37.360 half of the couple goes, where are we going again? Yep? Is 209 00:13:37.399 --> 00:13:41.360 that you? And Andrew for the most part. Yeah, he takes care 210 00:13:41.399 --> 00:13:43.600 of the car rental every time if we're renting a car somewhere. But outside 211 00:13:43.639 --> 00:13:46.600 of that, I do every other little detail and I'm okay with that because 212 00:13:46.639 --> 00:13:48.759 I like doing that, So okay, yeah, Susan does that too. 213 00:13:50.320 --> 00:13:54.159 This is a follow up on how people need to feel appreciated, particularly moms 214 00:13:54.159 --> 00:13:58.600 at holidays were so busy wrapping and buying and food prep and everything involved to 215 00:13:58.679 --> 00:14:01.879 make it special for everyone. I learned early on my husband is not always 216 00:14:01.919 --> 00:14:07.799 the best gift buyer and doesn't necessarily plan ahead, and it's very disappointing to 217 00:14:07.840 --> 00:14:11.919 have an empty stocking, and that came up to a couple of weeks ago 218 00:14:11.960 --> 00:14:16.159 that moms will work to get like little tic TACs or headbands or a yo 219 00:14:16.240 --> 00:14:18.480 yo or whatever they put in the stocking, and maybe a little I don't 220 00:14:18.480 --> 00:14:22.480 know, something for the husband. Like Susan usually gets me candy in his 221 00:14:22.559 --> 00:14:28.399 slim gym or something and the moms get nothing. I always get Susan something 222 00:14:28.399 --> 00:14:33.559 in her stocking, and you know, whether it's gum or some chapstick or 223 00:14:33.600 --> 00:14:35.919 something, you know what I mean. Yeah, So every year I'd buy 224 00:14:37.000 --> 00:14:39.080 myself whatever the hell I wanted and I'd put in the stocking. It was 225 00:14:39.120 --> 00:14:41.840 great. I got all kinds of goodies, gift cards, jewelry, and 226 00:14:41.879 --> 00:14:46.639 nobody could give me any business about it. Ha. Now that my kids 227 00:14:46.639 --> 00:14:50.080 are older, we draw names, which makes it super fun and gets them 228 00:14:50.080 --> 00:14:52.440 in the spirit as well. Ps. This also works for Mother's Day. 229 00:14:52.919 --> 00:14:56.840 Every year we go to a garden center and I pick out my gift. 230 00:14:58.480 --> 00:15:01.559 Thought this might help others in the same The boat appreciate all that you guys 231 00:15:01.639 --> 00:15:05.879 do. Donna in Rochester. Donna, by the way, is my favorite 232 00:15:05.960 --> 00:15:09.240 character on TV. She's the redhead in suits and I would leave Susan in 233 00:15:09.360 --> 00:15:15.639 a minute for this five foot nine gorgeous redhead Donna on suits. I've never 234 00:15:15.679 --> 00:15:18.919 seen suits, but she is on this new like Coming of Age and Netflix 235 00:15:18.919 --> 00:15:20.440 show that came out, and so I know who she is. She's a 236 00:15:20.519 --> 00:15:24.919 very beautiful woman. Oh I love redheads. Yeah, she's really hot. 237 00:15:24.279 --> 00:15:30.120 Anyway, it's a shame that you don't have a partner that takes care of 238 00:15:30.159 --> 00:15:35.519 you that way, because I think that's selfish and inconsiderate. Yeah, but 239 00:15:35.840 --> 00:15:37.960 maybe you don't see it that way, but I would. I'd be annoyed 240 00:15:39.000 --> 00:15:41.600 if, like, you know, I didn't get a gift in my stocking, 241 00:15:41.639 --> 00:15:45.279 but I bought for everybody else. I have a little bit of a 242 00:15:45.320 --> 00:15:48.679 funny story to tell you about me and Andrew in presence in recent years. 243 00:15:48.720 --> 00:15:50.919 I want to hear it. Okay. So it was just Andrew's birthday on 244 00:15:50.000 --> 00:15:54.600 Monday, and we celebrated on the snowboarding trip and I packed a present and 245 00:15:54.639 --> 00:15:56.879 all that good stuff, and he thought like he won digging in the freezer 246 00:15:56.919 --> 00:16:00.360 one night and was like, look for something, and I'm like, babe, 247 00:16:00.360 --> 00:16:03.559 we don't have anything. We went to the grocery store together. He's 248 00:16:03.600 --> 00:16:04.720 like, I don't know. I thought maybe you'd work your magic and there'd 249 00:16:04.720 --> 00:16:07.519 be ice cream in there or something, because I'm good at random shit like 250 00:16:07.519 --> 00:16:11.840 that. Well he's surprised and I go no, And so I did surprise 251 00:16:11.919 --> 00:16:15.159 them with a present though that morning and like packed it away, wrapped it, 252 00:16:15.279 --> 00:16:17.840 brought gift wrapping, whatever, and I gave it to him. He's 253 00:16:17.919 --> 00:16:19.039 like, oh, that's so awesome that you did that, like you always 254 00:16:19.080 --> 00:16:22.759 have surprises. And then I go, well, now, remember you still 255 00:16:22.759 --> 00:16:26.360 owe me a present for my birthday because my birthday was last May. He 256 00:16:26.399 --> 00:16:29.519 bought me this backpack, so he did give me a present, but we 257 00:16:29.720 --> 00:16:32.759 just returned it because he bought me a backpack from ARII that we were going 258 00:16:32.759 --> 00:16:36.320 to use for snowboarding. It wasn't the kind I wanted, so he returned 259 00:16:36.320 --> 00:16:37.759 it and I go, remember you still owe me a present and he goes, 260 00:16:37.840 --> 00:16:41.000 yeah, yeah, I know. And I was like, and you 261 00:16:41.039 --> 00:16:42.879 also didn't give me a present the year before because I had you return that 262 00:16:42.960 --> 00:16:45.919 present too, because he bought me these ug slippers and I was like, 263 00:16:45.960 --> 00:16:49.080 babe, I'm never going to wear these, like I just have cheap coal 264 00:16:49.159 --> 00:16:52.639 slippers for twenty bucks, like, just return them. And he'd also spent 265 00:16:52.720 --> 00:16:56.240 way too much money on like a dinner out and all this stuff. So 266 00:16:56.279 --> 00:16:57.879 I was like, just return them. And then he also pointed out that 267 00:16:57.960 --> 00:17:02.000 for Christmas this year, he returned half of my present he gave me for 268 00:17:02.080 --> 00:17:06.079 Christmas also because I just didn't need it. And so for the last like 269 00:17:06.119 --> 00:17:08.880 three times, pretty much he's giving me presents, We've returned them and I've 270 00:17:08.960 --> 00:17:12.079 never gotten anything back. And that's fine. But the backpack thing, I 271 00:17:12.079 --> 00:17:15.319 said, you're going to get me a backpack though? Okay, So he 272 00:17:15.400 --> 00:17:18.559 felt like kind of bad because he does give me presents, it's just a 273 00:17:18.599 --> 00:17:22.119 lot of times it's not exactly what I want, so we like return it 274 00:17:22.160 --> 00:17:25.960 and then I'm gonna go get something new instead, and then I never do, 275 00:17:26.160 --> 00:17:27.119 and so this time I was like, I'm holding you to the back 276 00:17:27.680 --> 00:17:32.839 one. I get it. At least he is making an effort. He 277 00:17:32.880 --> 00:17:33.839 does make an effort. I don't want to say that. And he also 278 00:17:33.880 --> 00:17:37.119 does nice little things like at the airport, I went to get a coffee. 279 00:17:37.160 --> 00:17:40.400 He had already had one that morning, so he wasn't getting one, 280 00:17:40.400 --> 00:17:41.200 and he bought it for me. No, And I was like, get 281 00:17:41.200 --> 00:17:44.039 out of here, I'll pay and he's like no, I'm puying it. 282 00:17:44.119 --> 00:17:45.960 So he does plenty of nice little things to me. But it was funny 283 00:17:45.960 --> 00:17:51.160 once I pointed out, like I forgot completely forgot about the Christmas present that 284 00:17:51.200 --> 00:17:52.200 he returned half of it this year, but the other ones. I was 285 00:17:52.240 --> 00:17:56.079 like, I remember we returned those. Get that backpack, T get that 286 00:17:56.079 --> 00:18:00.480 fucking backpack, David Crewe. I wanted to bring up how Bayle said she 287 00:18:00.519 --> 00:18:03.559 had never had a birthday party, and I feel her pain. I also 288 00:18:03.640 --> 00:18:10.079 really haven't had a real birthday since it's literally two weeks after Thanksgiving and two 289 00:18:10.119 --> 00:18:12.839 weeks before Christmas, so good luck trying to find anybody that's able to make 290 00:18:12.880 --> 00:18:17.920 it. I also hate having eyes on me, and I really hate getting 291 00:18:17.960 --> 00:18:22.079 gifts. When I turned thirty, I decided to want to have a three 292 00:18:22.200 --> 00:18:26.240 K or five K mud run with me with everyone they just need to pay 293 00:18:26.279 --> 00:18:30.440 for the cost, which was donated to the local foodshelves. That was my 294 00:18:30.519 --> 00:18:33.839 gift. So for my thirty fifth birthday, I was gonna make everybody do 295 00:18:33.960 --> 00:18:38.759 the bed races for bridging that got canceled due to COVID This year. In 296 00:18:38.799 --> 00:18:44.599 twenty twenty four, I'll be turning forty and my family is already asking what 297 00:18:44.680 --> 00:18:47.720 they have to do for my birthday. This year, I decided to make 298 00:18:47.759 --> 00:18:52.839 them all do a polar plunge with me. You the shows are welcome to 299 00:18:52.920 --> 00:18:56.440 come, but I know Dave Ryan might be busy that day even though I 300 00:18:56.440 --> 00:19:00.480 didn't give a day haha, plain animal crossing or taking a daddy bar nap. 301 00:19:00.480 --> 00:19:02.960 If you guys have any suggestions for what to do in five years, 302 00:19:03.400 --> 00:19:06.000 please let me know. I can't do hyps so jumping out of a plane. 303 00:19:06.039 --> 00:19:07.880 Fuck that, my feet belong on the ground. Also, thank you 304 00:19:07.960 --> 00:19:14.960 for the staff writer sticker Dart Lickylo. That's from Nicole. Nicole, I 305 00:19:15.720 --> 00:19:18.799 don't when people give me like ask me for suggestions like what to do for 306 00:19:18.920 --> 00:19:22.680 something. It's really hard because I don't know you that well. But I 307 00:19:22.759 --> 00:19:26.240 like the idea of doing something. If you can get your people to come 308 00:19:26.240 --> 00:19:30.480 to you with you to a five K or you know whatever, that's great. 309 00:19:33.200 --> 00:19:36.519 But yesterday somebody asked what to do for their husband's fiftieth birthday. We 310 00:19:36.599 --> 00:19:41.079 got zero responses on that, and I think it's because people find it difficult 311 00:19:41.119 --> 00:19:45.039 to say what you should do on a birthday. Yeah, it's very hard 312 00:19:45.079 --> 00:19:48.480 and it sounds like, you want suggestions for something that's like a group activity 313 00:19:48.519 --> 00:19:52.039 but also is donations to charity, and that's really hard for me to think 314 00:19:52.079 --> 00:19:55.839 of something off the top of my head. One idea, though, is 315 00:19:56.200 --> 00:19:57.880 I want to play pick a ball at this place in Maple Grove a couple 316 00:19:57.880 --> 00:20:00.880 of weeks ago, and all of a sudden, and as our time was 317 00:20:00.920 --> 00:20:04.200 wrapping up, literally one hundred people rolled up it decked out in this like 318 00:20:04.319 --> 00:20:07.640 themed gear and they were clearly celebrating a birthday party. And I thought that 319 00:20:07.559 --> 00:20:11.640 that was so cool that that's what they did for someone's birthday, or maybe 320 00:20:11.680 --> 00:20:17.799 it was some other celebration. But I don't know anything like charity wise, 321 00:20:17.960 --> 00:20:19.920 event wise off the top of my head. I would just say, look 322 00:20:19.920 --> 00:20:23.359 at like local events happening in the area. On Facebook. There's like you 323 00:20:23.359 --> 00:20:26.119 can always find things like that, So maybe that's an option, you know, 324 00:20:26.240 --> 00:20:29.599 And that's true because well, a lot of the time Susan and I 325 00:20:29.640 --> 00:20:30.759 sit around, like this weekend, we don't know what we're gonna do. 326 00:20:30.799 --> 00:20:33.920 But a year or so ago, she looked up in New Wolm and there 327 00:20:33.960 --> 00:20:38.839 was a Beatles tribute band playing at the downtown Old State Theater in New Oolm. 328 00:20:40.359 --> 00:20:42.200 That's weird. I love the Beatles. Let's go to Newolm. We 329 00:20:42.240 --> 00:20:45.039 stayed at the Holiday Inn. We went to Beagles Kaiser Hop, which is 330 00:20:45.079 --> 00:20:49.119 our favorite restaurant down there, and we went to the Beatles' tribute show and 331 00:20:49.200 --> 00:20:52.079 it was awesome. And we found it on Facebook, like in just things 332 00:20:52.079 --> 00:20:56.960 that are happening, and you just found that like last minute, totally spontaneous. 333 00:20:56.039 --> 00:21:00.640 Yeah, next email is they say I've got a lot of thoughts, 334 00:21:02.799 --> 00:21:06.359 so here we go. And then they talked about missing my book signing and 335 00:21:06.359 --> 00:21:11.200 they're a teacher and and I am going to do another book signing at the 336 00:21:11.359 --> 00:21:17.680 Rosedale Barnes and Nobles soon. So I wrote to them and said, hey, 337 00:21:17.839 --> 00:21:18.759 love to come do a book signing. They said, yeah, well 338 00:21:18.799 --> 00:21:21.960 stock your book. We'll do a book signing. What day's work. So 339 00:21:22.039 --> 00:21:23.400 we're working on that, but they said they couldn't come to last one. 340 00:21:23.480 --> 00:21:29.279 Then they talk about changes at KATWB and they ask a lot of questions that 341 00:21:29.519 --> 00:21:32.160 we've answered a lot of times, so we won't go over that again. 342 00:21:32.200 --> 00:21:37.799 But I like what they said. Finally, a just because question what always 343 00:21:37.799 --> 00:21:41.680 improves your mood even when you're upset, You can't say your partner kids are 344 00:21:41.720 --> 00:21:45.920 pets. I'll go first. Mine are Reality TV and ma blanky love you 345 00:21:47.000 --> 00:21:49.480 guys would love a staff writer stick or please, and I won't say their 346 00:21:49.559 --> 00:21:55.000 name. Playing my ukulele yep, I would say always improves my mood. 347 00:21:55.440 --> 00:21:59.240 What about you? Mine is getting outside. Usually it's just like a walk 348 00:21:59.319 --> 00:22:02.640 or something. But getting outside, no matter like what time of the year, 349 00:22:03.000 --> 00:22:06.000 always makes you feel better because I just think, obviously it's important to 350 00:22:06.039 --> 00:22:10.599 be outdoors, like for your mental health. So that's usually mine. Yeah, 351 00:22:10.680 --> 00:22:12.279 that's a good one. There's another question, what always improves your mood? 352 00:22:12.319 --> 00:22:15.200 I mean some people be like, oh, eating always improves my mood. 353 00:22:15.759 --> 00:22:18.680 I've heard you can't be depressed when you eat. Corey Foley told me 354 00:22:18.680 --> 00:22:21.960 that. I don't know whether it's true or not. You can't be depressed 355 00:22:21.960 --> 00:22:25.319 when you eat. I don't know. I hate to spread that rumor because 356 00:22:25.319 --> 00:22:27.599 if somebody's got depression and they're like, I'm going to go eat and then 357 00:22:27.640 --> 00:22:32.559 you gain forty five pounds, don't come bitch into me. Okay, next 358 00:22:32.599 --> 00:22:34.839 one, and some emails, just to let you know, I will filter 359 00:22:34.960 --> 00:22:41.279 them kind of visually as I'm looking ahead here. This one is I'm skipping 360 00:22:41.319 --> 00:22:44.720 ahead. Marissa says, shout out to all the parents with some kind of 361 00:22:44.720 --> 00:22:48.960 sickness running through their house. My almost two year old daughter went to daycare 362 00:22:48.000 --> 00:22:53.759 today with a slightly irritated eye and came home with ultra pink swollen eye. 363 00:22:53.839 --> 00:22:57.319 Gross. Gross. So here's your reminder not to touch your booty and then 364 00:22:57.359 --> 00:23:02.119 your eye, crossing my finger, she doesn't pass it along to me this 365 00:23:02.240 --> 00:23:07.640 time. Have a great week. Ah right, Marissa. I never knew 366 00:23:08.440 --> 00:23:15.559 or associated touching your butthole with pink eye until Fallon brought it up, because 367 00:23:15.599 --> 00:23:18.279 Fallen would. I don't know if Fallon touched her butt a lot or what, 368 00:23:18.559 --> 00:23:19.839 or got pink eye. I never We never had pink eye in her 369 00:23:19.880 --> 00:23:23.480 family, maybe once in a while. But is it disassociated with touching your 370 00:23:23.519 --> 00:23:27.160 butthole? I believe it is because I think I learned that also in college, 371 00:23:27.240 --> 00:23:30.359 because I got pink eye a couple different times in college, and so 372 00:23:30.640 --> 00:23:36.079 of course all this stupid jokes were made about like what could have happened for 373 00:23:36.119 --> 00:23:37.680 me to get pink eye? And I believe the touch in your butthole was 374 00:23:37.680 --> 00:23:40.680 one of them. I really had no idea. I'm going to call my 375 00:23:40.680 --> 00:23:42.240 friend nurse Wendy, and I'm going to ask her if that has anything to 376 00:23:42.279 --> 00:23:47.079 do with it. You got to make a quick to the airport. Sure 377 00:23:47.200 --> 00:23:52.640 does that touching your Does pink I come from touching your butthole? Oh? 378 00:23:52.720 --> 00:23:56.160 You can. You can get stuff in your eyes from anything. But you 379 00:23:56.160 --> 00:24:00.319 can get pink eye from ack? What other things can you get think guy 380 00:24:00.400 --> 00:24:03.759 from? Well, you can get it. I'm just like having dirty hands. 381 00:24:03.759 --> 00:24:07.119 You can pick up from someone else who's got nasty stuff going on. 382 00:24:08.039 --> 00:24:15.200 So it's usually wash your hands, that's what I gotta wash your hand. 383 00:24:15.319 --> 00:24:17.400 But if you got a two year old, they're not gonna wash their hands. 384 00:24:17.440 --> 00:24:21.319 They're gonna touch their butthole. Then they're gonna get pink eye. Yeah, 385 00:24:21.359 --> 00:24:25.319 they sure could well, or someone else's butthole or someone else's nay here, 386 00:24:26.039 --> 00:24:29.759 Okay, that's probably why adults don't get pink eye very often, because 387 00:24:29.759 --> 00:24:32.279 they don't touch their butthole and they wash their hands more often. Okay, 388 00:24:32.279 --> 00:24:36.720 I have a good fly by bye. Okay, we gotta start paying her. 389 00:24:37.319 --> 00:24:40.079 She's our go to. Everything's gonna happen, Jenny, you know that. 390 00:24:40.559 --> 00:24:45.759 All right, let's find another one. These are fun let's see I. 391 00:24:47.440 --> 00:24:49.319 Okay, Becky basically just wants a staff Rider sticker, and she loves 392 00:24:49.319 --> 00:24:52.359 the longer length of the podcast, so I will take care of that. 393 00:24:53.119 --> 00:24:56.880 My camera is not working right now, but there we go. Okay, 394 00:24:56.920 --> 00:25:03.920 next one, Thank you, Becky. This sers I wanted to chime in 395 00:25:03.960 --> 00:25:08.119 on what character came to my party. We must have talked about this a 396 00:25:08.119 --> 00:25:14.839 couple of days ago. I talked about Barney coming to Allison's party and how 397 00:25:14.880 --> 00:25:19.519 Alison or Angelica Pickles came to Allison's party when she was like nine. This 398 00:25:19.720 --> 00:25:23.960 wasn't my party because I was neglected as a child and not given hugs or 399 00:25:25.079 --> 00:25:29.599 characters at my birthdays. Yike's kidding, sort of okay, good? Instead, 400 00:25:29.720 --> 00:25:32.680 I had to share them with my stupid brother, whose birthday is three 401 00:25:32.759 --> 00:25:34.480 days after mine. But my mother was in town. My brother was in 402 00:25:34.480 --> 00:25:40.759 town for Christmas. One year, we celebrated by my niece's birthday while in 403 00:25:40.759 --> 00:25:45.079 town. She is obsessed with unicorns and all things flowery and glittery, like 404 00:25:45.160 --> 00:25:48.279 many little girls. We got a unicorn to come for her little birthday party. 405 00:25:48.599 --> 00:25:52.680 It was a white pony covered in glitter and flowers, eclipped with a 406 00:25:52.839 --> 00:25:56.519 glitter unicorn horn. She was so excited and once she started writing her we 407 00:25:56.559 --> 00:26:00.559 couldn't get her off. She was officially in love. To this day at 408 00:26:00.599 --> 00:26:03.759 six years old, my sweet girl talks about the unicorn and how she loves 409 00:26:03.759 --> 00:26:08.880 coming to Minnesota because that is where the unicorns live. Last year she even 410 00:26:08.880 --> 00:26:15.319 made plans to catch a unicorn. Lol. Second thing, diddling the bean 411 00:26:15.519 --> 00:26:18.799 needs to be a new sign off, because that was hilarious. You missed 412 00:26:18.839 --> 00:26:25.559 that one. What happened? Bailey and I somehow something came up with diddling 413 00:26:25.640 --> 00:26:30.079 the bean and Bailey laughed and then we laughed, and so she we brought 414 00:26:30.079 --> 00:26:33.400 that up and that was kind of funny. And I'm going to send you 415 00:26:33.400 --> 00:26:38.119 a staff writer sticker. She is from Ohio, but she listens to the 416 00:26:38.160 --> 00:26:41.880 show in and over, so I'm going to send that to you. Thank 417 00:26:41.920 --> 00:26:42.440 you. I don't know if you want me to say your name or not, 418 00:26:42.839 --> 00:26:48.559 but I really appreciate that one. Diddling the bean and have a great 419 00:26:48.640 --> 00:26:52.720 day, have a great weekend. Send those emails to Ryan Show at KADIWB 420 00:26:52.880 --> 00:26:53.440 dot com.
